"Apron-remitted" explanation
Hi,
the following excerpt is from a short story called "A Rose for Emily" by William Faulkner.
"...he who fathered the edict that no Negro woman should appear on the streets without an apron-remitted her taxes..."
What does the part in bold mean? I couldn't find an explanation anywhere...
Thank you in advance!
